Sparkfun vs Adafruit fight is still going
Can't say I have the full picture on this
This article from the Register has some information that lines up with information I found online, including Mastodon posts from a Sparkfun (ex?)employee admitting to creating a website to harass Adafruit.

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)

Has anyone been able to do something useful with Cloud-Init on the new version of Raspberry Pi OS?
I tried for the first time and log shows all Cloud-Init modules were skipped.
